OK, I chose bbPress because the description made it sound as if it was a simple program to use. Well, maybe it is if you have a decent amount of prior knowledge with programs like this.

Thing is that many of us who decide to use web development software like WP do so because we want to put up a website but don’t want to take the time to learn HTML or CSS or any other programming language. We simply want to be able to show the world our thoughts, shops, blogs or whatever via the web and want to do so without needing to learn a 2nd language. I don’t think that’s too much to ask in the year 2012.

The problem many of us are running into with bbPress is that the developers assume too much of us. There is nothing simple about getting this thing to work correctly and that’s a shame because it really looks like something great to add to a website.

Again, I do believe that this program would be fairly simple for someone with a decent amount of understanding in web development. However, there are a large amount of WP users who have not one bit of programming knowledge or web development experience. For those of us with extremely limited knowledge in this area it would be a great help if we could get a small bit of instruction to get started.

Having a forum for getting questions answered is a fine idea and would be enough for most of us if only we could get some of the mods to actually answer our questions. I see several posts in this forum from people who are having a difficult time and the only time anyone seems to get any communication from the mods is when they finally get irritated enough to get their post shut down.

I’m not at all trying to be rude or insulting here but there really is no help at all for someone needing it. I’m just trying to offer some feedback in order to improve the product and the support for it. Something as simple as a small manual with step by step instruction describing how to get a link to bbPress forum on the WP front page once it’s set up would really go a long way toward helping those of us who are a little technically challenged.

Seriously….ignoring a plea for help until it’s elevated to the point of frustration and then shutting down the post is counter productive. I’ve searched several posts where all the poster wants is an explanation on how to access his forum from the front page and every one I’ve seen so far offers no help at all. The posters are ignored completely until they are frustrated and then told to leave or to use a different product.

Just a small bit of advice for everyone and something I learned long ago…..Be careful which toes you step on today because they may belong to the feet you have to kiss tomorrow.

No I don’t see anything, essentially what I want to be able to do is on the main list of forums, have each forum link that has sub-forums in it have a specific class on it, so I can single that out with css and use styling the show that that forum has sub-forums in it.

Like they do here…

http://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/45-GRO-North-America

All the forum names that have that little symbol next to it have sub-forums in them. That is exactly what I want to do with my bbpress forum

[Jared Atchison]

You need to use Firebug or Chrome inspector to check out the CSS.

I’ve looked at things and it’s all simple conflicts that are happening due to the CSS that’s in place with you theme.

For example .hentry is being floated left which is screwing up the forum index.

You will want to put some tweaks in place (in your theme’s style.css). For example:

.bbp-forums .hentry {

float:none;

}

Hi Jaredatch,

Sorry, i was hoping to do it without removing maintenance mode but I guess it’s not practical.

I have removed it and the url is http://www.actionvolunteer.com/forums/.

Any help is much appreciated!

[nadimvdr]

I’m sure I’m missing something obvious but I can’t seem to find the CSS that relates to the following problem – all my forum pages, and topic discussions appear to be shorter than the width of the table.

I’m using a theme called Oxygen and the normal theme for bbpress.

Here are some screenshots to help explain more clearly (if I’m allowed to post links).

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/331861/Screen%20Shot%202012-04-02%20at%2012.51.40%20AM.png

I realise it might be the theme and not bbpress but was hoping someone had an idea of whether this was handled in bbpress’ css.

[Bluealek]

Ok, I’ll try to be clearer, and ask one question at a time. How exactly should I modify the default theme CSS if I want to have a latest replies list displayed before the forums list, at the root level?

Please explain in terms “open this file and insert/change that”. I’m still a bit lost understanding what is where.

Hi JJJ, I have an issue with my forum and I don’t see anything in the community (I may be searching for the wrong thing)

My forum is http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I think it did great last season.

Somebody asked me what shortcodes I used and when I went to the page in the dashboard it will only serve me the last created forum topic.

So if under pages I click the page for the forum to view the codes it returns this http://jeff-foliage.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=735&action=edit (I hope I can’t be hacked by giving this out…

This is a forum post topic that I created last year. If I trash this post it will return the next newest post topic for the forum.

Can you or someone tell me if there is a simple solution? Is this most likely a plugin problem? (I know most are and I suppose I could go through and deactivate them and see if at any point see the page)

Or is this a pure database problem, thoughts?

Oh I’m getting nice comments about how mine looks and I don’t know if my forum looks all that great since I’m in compatibility mode using Weaver theme. But folks seem confused and feel I’ve done great pimping on the CSS when it’s all the theme for colors and what it looks like.

[Jared Atchison]

You are using 2.1, which is good.

What you need to do is tweak the CSS, I don’t recommend editing core, I would use this instead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

bbpress.css, line 48 is what you need to change, ie

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {

color: #CCC;

}

[DELETE ME]

Hi Sharq219,

Before I post, I must say, I am no code-maestro rather a novice at it all. However this is what I did –

In FTP Panel,

• Followed this page – %Root Folder of the website in question%wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencss

• Edited the file bbpress.css (attached the edited version)

• You’ll notice in top few lines and bottom few lines I changed the background colour hexademical code from #efefef to #0B0808

• Be careful though, do not change it at all places. I practically changed one place at a time and saved and refreshed to check until I got the results. Best to compare the file I am sending you with your file and see if you can relate & make changes in right places.

• I suggest to start from the bottom up in the file, you are likely to see it resolve in the end.

Here is the code of the file I edited – – –

Hi there!

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I am OK with CSS, but what I couldn’t find the bbpress table’s css. Otherwise I would have put the cell width to “auto”.

When I tried to find the css through firebug, I just found the style.css for any table I have on the site. When I set those cells to auto, nothing happened.

[Jared Atchison]

You should be able to just put a few CSS tweaks/overrides in your themes’s style.css.

Are you familiar with CSS?

[vbking]

See forum here:

http://www.beecavenews.com/bee-cave-forum/

1) How do I remove “Started By”?

2) Why is “Voices” and “Posts” not aligned?

3) Why is there so much vertical space?

I used the bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] code. This also looks the same when I use the standard [bbp-topic-index]. And it looks this way with and without my custom css to change look and feel.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am having trouble trying to resize my forums table cells widths.

The “topics” and “posts” cells that only contain a number don’t need to be the same width as the “forum” and “freshness” cells that contain words and wrap to the next line.

When I look at the table through firebug I just see “.article th, .article td” which is part of my sytle.css and not bbpress.

Any ideas how I can make the cells widths change?

Here is an example of 1 forum I am talking about http://lifeafterlondon.com/forums-2/

Many thanks

First of all sorry for bumping so often.

I’m using the suffusion v4.0.4 theme as I mentioned above. I use wordpress version 3.3.1 along with bbpress 2.0.2 and buddypress 1.5.5.

First I removed the <?php get_sidebar()?> from bbpress .php files, then in the style.css i added the proper components for the forum to be full width (i hope you get it), it was working fine.

But then I went into the sidebar.php in the suffusion theme folder (i was just trying something) and when I went to the forum page the other widgets were gone, but the new one was standing right next to the forum container .. I think this happened after I upgraded buddypress.

Then I tried to remove the bbpress plugin along with all his files, then again i re-installed bbpress, and done the same thing as before, but now all widgets are shown, not just only one. X_X

It looks to me that your theme is unable to find the BBpress templates. You could try copying the files from the BBpress (twenty ten) theme to your current theme folder. Than make a page called “forum” or whatever you want and put [bbp-forum-index] in it. This is for 2.0.2.

Furthermore, what you could also try is activating the bbPress (Twenty Ten) theme and put “template: Arras Classical Gamer” in it’s style.css (or whatever it’s actually called). I don’t know if that’s the right way of doing it, probably not, but that’s how I got it to work with my theme.

1) How do I remove “Started By”?

2) Why is “Voices” and “Posts” not aligned?

3) Why is there so much vertical space?

I used the bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] code. This also looks the same when I use the standard [bbp-topic-index]. And it looks this way with and without my custom css to change look and feel.

Thanks,

I almost have this forum completed, but the profile page just doesnt look good using WooThemes Canvas – Theme.

Also the css for the original post is different than the reply posts. Its adding buttons to links, quotes, and the avatar.

Any idea of how to solve this? Ive searched and searched all night, but I cant find a solution.

Here is my test site.

My installation instructions.

1. Installed plugin and activated in WordPress.

2. Copied the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ into my themes root folder /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/

3. Modified bbpress.css in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/css/

4. Put in this line in my header.php <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/css/bbpress.css”>

5. Modified my page.php in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/ (please note if you have any other pages using page.php in your theme modifying this file will also modify those pages utilizing this wordpress page template). I modified it so my forum would be full width without the sidebar. This will vary depending on your theme.

6. Created my forums in my wordpress admin panel under the forum section.

7. Tested, everything is working great!

I got it…. woah… Topic Resolved

in bbpress.css (Line 109)

#content th.bbp-topic-author,

#content th.bbp-reply-author {

text-align: center;

width: 110px;

}

Sets the size of the container holding all the author info. Which the forum content aligns to. Mine was set too small it works now. With a little tweaks back and forth to adjust for cross browser continuity. hmmm

Do you know what effects the update to 2.1 will have?

btw you rock as a moderator !!! thanks

and how the hell do i change my avatar on bbpress.org ? haha

You don’t need to bump a thread you just posted. I mean seriously – it’s Sunday and you can’t wait longer than 30 mins?

To answer your question you will either have to edit your theme or you can hide that stuff using CSS, eg

.bbp-forum-info ul.bbp-forums { display:none; }

I want to make the corners rounder, more smooth. And make the bakground at the forumheader red.

I’m not that familiar with CSS i’m afraid.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not quite sure I understand.

It’s all controlled through your CSS like was mentioned here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-forum-color#post-100130

[Jared Atchison]

If you don’t know CSS it’s not going to be an easy task, however this should help you get started:
